The furnace humidifier sprang a leak on Sunday morning. The plumber kept us informed of the approximate time he would arrive and arrived when he said he would. He used 'booties' to keep the floor clean. He did a great job.

I needed to replace a couple of toilets and have used Flatley's many times before to which I got the usual speedy, quality service. They aren't the cheapest but you get what you pay for. I will certainly continue using Flatley's! Service: Toilet installation

The visit today with Robert P. Went very well. He was sent to revalue the leaking discharge pipe but also had to reinstall the new pump as it was installed incorrectly by the previous plumber. Robert did an excellent job! Service: Sump pump repair

I called express plumbing on Sat morning and got scheduled for the same day. The technician, Diego, showed up only 3 hours after I made my call (this is what I call - express!) and right in the estimated time that the company provided to me. Diego was super professional and nice. He performed the services promptly and quickly. Additionally, he took his time to listen and gave me his suggestions. Everything is fixed within 1 hour. This is my first time using express plumbing and I know they will be the one I will call if I have any plumbing issue in the future!

Express indeed. We needed a gas line relocated for a new appliance. They arrived the next day at 0700 sharp, spent 15 minutes reviewing the job for a quote, and were finished before breakfast. Thanks guys. Great job!

Our ejector pump ran continuously one night due to a bad float switch. We had to unplug it to stop it from running. Flatley's Plumbing Express was called at 7 am when they opened. They put us first on their list of services for the day and were at our home by 8 am. The service person wore shoe covers (booties) over his shoes so as to not dirty our home. The service person identified our issue immediately and made several recommendations for repair, and quoted us a price before starting anything.
The work was performed quickly, accurately, was done without any mess. We have also used Flatley's once before for a minor issue. They were just as responsive and nice to deal with. $780 was ALOT of money for the one hours worth of work that was done. One thing to note is that the pump quality we now have is a superior grade compared to what we had, which we are happy about. For an hours worth of work, they made some good money and we got some piece of mind, and the ability to shower, flush toilets, etc.
